The Mennonite Country
A Mennonite farm.
Mennonites are a part of the Ontario's cultural heritage.
Their ancestors arrived to the Waterloo region in the late
eighteenth century from Pennsylvania and actively participated
in building of what is today the most industrialized and
high-tech region of Canada. Despite all today's technology,
Mennonites managed to maintain their rural agricultural life
style and their presence on the country roads and in
the streets of tranquil villages brings back the memories of
pioneering and settling of the American West. The pictures
and notes on these pages want to inspire a casual visitor of
Toronto or Waterloo to hop in a bus or a car and discover
the long forgotten past of Ontario.
